I can see this is going to be a easy and simple process, now gpre
doesn't work: First of all it seems that it needs to know the exact
database path, username and password in order to be able to compile.

So I fed it the line (this is really all on one line)

"c:\program files\firebird\bin\gpre" $(InputPath) -d
lnxsrvr:/var/ib_data/mystuff.gdb -user sysdba -password masterkey

It promptly told me that the user is not defined, yeah right, either
I have something wrong here, or gpre is nuts. Please tell me it's
something I have wrong, and kindly tell me gpre (Firebird 0.9.4.41)
is really OK.

More Questions:

1) I want to give the client enough flexability that he can call the
database whatever he wants, and stick it wherever he wants, and use a
different user and password, I wouldn't normally use SYSDBA, but I
want to experiment with this....

2) Even if I use the above, can I still specify something else with a
connect statement inside.
